Chapter 1014: Unfilial piety
"Yun Hao, last time the teacher mentioned to you that you should be a local official under Shen Yan's command, because you still want to pass the imperial examination, so the teacher did not recommend you to Shen Yan again, however, Shen Yan is very short of the civil official system, you join Shen Yan at this time, with the development of Shen Yan, you will have more stages and platforms to show your talents, this may be more valuable and meaningful than you pass the imperial examination, and its influence will be greater." A trace of hesitation flashed in Yao Mengxian's eyes, and then a helpless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and with a hint of encouragement, he glanced at Li Yunhao and said softly.
Yao Mengxian also knows very well why Li Yunhao chose to refuse his recommendation in the first place, instead of passing the imperial examination, this is not to say that Li Yunhao is too high and arrogant, how can he accept him as an apprentice if he is a high and arrogant person, Li Yunhao's approach is to reflect his arrogance, the arrogance of a scholar, or the arrogance of a cold student.
"Teacher, could it be that Shen Yan is looking for you again?" Hearing Yao Mengxian mention this topic again, a touch of surprise flashed in Li Yunhao's eyes, this Shen Yan seems to be really resilient, and he was rejected by himself, but he still came to Yao Mengxian to intercede, could it be that he is really that important?
"This time Shen Yan didn't come to find the old man, but the old man knew that Shen Yan had returned to Jinling." Yao Mengxian smiled faintly and said softly.
"Shen Yan is returning with merit this time, no accident, the emperor will definitely reward Shen Yan again, and Shen Yan will also take advantage of the situation."
"Shen Yan does have extraordinary ability, the situation of the White Lotus Sect in Huaibei County can be described as in full swing, very rampant, but the imperial court does not have enough manpower to destroy the White Lotus Sect, Shen Yan only took less than 5,000 troops to Huaibei County to fight with the White Lotus Sect, at that time, the entire Jinling, whether it was a literati student or a martial arts general, felt that Shen Yan had gone and had no return, who knows, Shen Yan was fighting to find a way out of the premise that there was no possibility." When Shen Yan was mentioned, a complicated look flashed in Li Yunhao's eyes, the first time they met Wangjianglou, at that time, Li Yunhao never thought that Shen Yan would have today's achievements.
At that time, Li Yunhao still felt that Shen Yan was similar to him, they were all poor students, originally Zhan Shihui wanted to make things difficult for Shen Yanshi through the couplets proposed by Shen Yan, Li Yunhao also thought about how to persuade Zhan Shihui to give Shen Yan some face, but he never thought that Shen Yan's couplets had become absolute, even now, the students of Manjinling still can't come up, and Shen Yan's talent alone makes Li Yunhao feel admired.
Later, Shen Yan's performance was even more surprising, or jaw-dropping, Shen Yan actually gave up such a superior literary talent and chose a military career, single-handedly forming the Great Xia Royal Army. To be honest, at that time, the poor students represented by themselves, and the official eunuch students represented by Zhan Shihui, including those students from families or big clans, all felt that Shen Yan was completely putting the cart before the horse, or that Shen Yan was inflated to the extreme, and chose a military career.
Who would have thought that Shen Yan's performance once again shocked himself and others, and at the same time, he also felt some admiration, the newly formed Great Xia Royal Army actually defeated the White Lotus Sect several times the strength of the Great Xia Royal Army in Lingnan, which made some representatives of the imperial court feel that the White Lotus Sect was nothing more than that, and for this reason, he also developed an arrogant mentality, thinking that he could easily crush the White Lotus Sect by leading a lion and gain great credit.
But this arrogance with the failure of the Jinling front army on the front line and spread to Jinling completely became a joke in some circles of Jinling, the strength of the Jinling front army is so, Li Yunhao and others are very clear in the circle, and such a strength of an army was easily defeated by the White Lotus Sect, which may be mixed with other reasons, but this is the case.
By comparing Shen Yan's victory with the defeat of the Jinling front army, Li Yunhao and other people of insight realized how strong Shen Yan's military talent was, otherwise Shen Yan would not have been able to achieve such a major victory with the newly formed Great Xia Royal Army.
After Shen Yan led the army into Huaibei County for the second time, although Li Yunhao and others felt that Shen Yan finally made a stupid move, when Shen Yan once again came to the news of victory, Li Yunhao and others seemed to have completely subverted some inherent cognitive levels, and later the repeated news of Shen Yan's victory almost made Li Yunhao and others feel numb.
But even if Shen Yan is so powerful and has extraordinary achievements and talents, if Li Yunhao wants to give up the imperial examination and choose to join Shen Yan's command, Li Yunhao still can't do this in his bones.
"Although Shen Yan's contribution this time is not very great, but the Great Xia Dynasty has hardly had a decent military operation for so many years, nor has it had a major victory, except for the battle of the emperor against Beihu more than thirty years ago, so Shen Yan defeated the mighty White Lotus Sect and won face for the emperor and the court, and the emperor will definitely reward Shen Yan, but teacher, this is the emperor's recognition of Shen Yan, and it does not mean that this student will join Shen Yan's command." Li Yunhao organized the language a little, and did not let Yao Mengxian get off the stage because of his refusal.
"Having said that, have you ever thought about when the next imperial examination will be, in case something happens in the imperial examination, do you still want to wait for another three years, you can afford to wait, and the old man can accompany you to wait, but have you ever thought about it, can your elderly parents wait any longer?" A complicated look flashed in Yao Mengxian's eyes, Li Yunhao does have outstanding talent and literary talent, but unfortunately the fate of the imperial examination is not good, and the three imperial examinations have failed, otherwise, with Li Yunhao's knowledge, coupled with his own care and the care of his senior brothers, although he does not dare to say that he has become the governor of the third grade, he can at least be the prefect of the government.
It's a pity that Li Yunhao's arrogance is too strong, and it seems impossible to make Li Yunhao bow his head easily, even if it is Zhan Shihui, who is almost on par with Li Yunhao in terms of style and strength, Li Yunhao has never felt that he was sent by the other party, sometimes although James Shihui feels that Li Yunhao is inferior to the other party on the surface, it is just a matter of face, if it really involves core interests, Li Yunhao will definitely not give it to others.
"Parents?" Hearing Yao Mengxian mention his elderly parents, a layer of mist flashed in Li Yunhao's eyes, and he kept asking his elderly parents to pay for his failure in the imperial examination, which is not a manifestation of unfilial piety.
